José Luis García Paneque


Moralinda Paneque is demanding that the Castro dictatorship immediately release her son, political prisoner José Luis García Paneque, who has been imprisoned since the "black spring" of 2003, because of his deteriorating health.

"His body is skin and bones, and no meat," Sra. Paneque said.

Despite his poor medical condition, Sra. Paneque said her son, a physician and independent journalist, remains committed to the cause of Cuban liberty.

"The voice is very strong, but the body does not follow," she said.

José Luis García Paneque is serving a 24-year prison sentence.
